It realizes efficient flooding of topology control (TC) messages. It simultaneously supports generating small topology information which is enough to find the shortest path for any pair of nodes. In this paper, we propose a method to find more efficient multipoint relay (MPR) set, in terms of reducing topology control traffic of OLSR. Our method shares MPRs between a node and its neighbor nodes, to reduce the MPR ratio. The MPR ratio is defined as the number of MPR nodes divided by the total number of nodes in the network. By decreasing the MPR ratio, the number of TC message generation is decreased. To overlap the MPR set with MPR sets of the neighbors, each node computes the degree of coverage for each of its MPRs, and appends the degrees into HELLO messages. When a node computes its MPR set, the node intends to share MPRs by referring neighbors' MPR sets and the degrees of their MPRs. Our MPR selection algorithm keeps the size of MPR set no more than that of the conventional MPR selection. Through simulations, the MPR ratio and the number of OLSR packets reduce by 6% and 4%, respectively, in moderately dense networks.","PeriodicalId":158378,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Symposium on \"A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks\" (WoWMoM)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128014563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, uplink CLTD aims at reducing the UE transmission power, and/or improving the received SINR, by steering a transmission beam towards the base station based by sending appropriate feedback information. At the same time, the downlink Multiflow improves noticeably the cell edge performance as a UE receives simultaneously data from two neighboring cells. What remains unclear and is still under study, is the overall system behavior when these features are combined together. Furthermore, there is a special interest in providing the CLTD feedback from the so-called Multiflow assisting cell, which can mitigate the link imbalance and enable Multiflow operation for larger handover areas.","PeriodicalId":158378,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Symposium on \"A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks\" (WoWMoM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115248050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we show how an adversary can overhear the encrypted wireless transmissions, and detect the periodic components of the wireless traffic that can further reveal the application used in the sensor network. Traffic analysis is performed in a very energy-efficient way using the compressed sensing principles. Furthermore, the periodic components are detected using the Lomb-Scargle periodogram technique.","PeriodicalId":158378,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Symposium on \"A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks\" (WoWMoM)","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124278138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These factors introduce variability in the latency and the packet loss rate, which in turn severely affects the voice quality that is closely related to the voice codecs used by the VoIP network. This paper examines the effects of these factors to the quality of the VoIP traffic over a MANET via extensive simulations. It also presents ways to improve the performance, based either on the routing layer or on the application layer with the aggregation of multiple voice payloads to a single packet. This aggregation significantly improves the performance of the G.711 codec, while the impact to the other codecs is negligible.","PeriodicalId":158378,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Symposium on \"A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks\" (WoWMoM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this demonstration, we show practical measurements of OFDMA in a topology with multiple transmitters and receivers, which represents a fully-connected segment of a mesh network. Moreover, we model our system analytically and in simulation. Our measurements show the validity of these models.

First, the potential performance gain with channel assignment is strongly related to the accuracy of the utilized interference model. Usually simplified distance-based interference models are used, such as the 2-hop model, that has shown only poor accuracy in testbed validations. Thus, a measurement-based interference model has been developed in the scope of this thesis that outperforms the simplified distance-based models. Second, with the dawn of the Internet of Things, the number of co-located networks and devices operating in the unlicensed frequency spectrum is exploding. Therefore, channel assignment algorithms have to become aware of the radio activity of external networks. An external interference-aware channel assignment algorithm has been developed that uses a spectrum sensing software component to detect external sources of interference. First experimental results in a large-scale multi-radio testbed promise that our approach increases the accuracy of the interference estimation and leads to a higher network performance.","PeriodicalId":158378,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 14th International Symposium on \"A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks\" (WoWMoM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129652183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present automated techniques for filtering, aggregating, and processing combined social networking traces with the goal of extracting descriptions of regularly-occurring user activities, which we refer to as “user routines”. We report our findings based on two localized data sets about a single pool of users: the former contains public geotagged Twitter messages, the latter Foursquare check-ins that provide us with meaningful venue information about the locations we observe. We analyze and combine the two datasets to highlight their properties and show how the emergent features can enhance our understanding of users' daily schedule.
